Maybe it could help to read the Contributing section in GNU Guix Reference Manual (https://guix.gnu.org/manual/en/html_node/Contributing.html#Contributing). You will find packaging guidelines and information about submitting patches to add your package. I haven't submitted any package myself yet, but I would start there, and ask here in case of doubts.

Some things I noticed in your package definition:

• Indentation probably does not follow the coding style of Guix.
• Is the value for "home-page" correct? Maybe it should be https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Apps/CharacterMap instead?
• In origin's uri there seems to be an unnecessary use of "string-append", as you are only passing one string (not appending two or more).
